1740.86 is what percent of 4900 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 4900 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 4900, so we can write it down as 100%=4900.
4. We know, that x% equals 1740.86 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1740.86.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4900
2) x%=1740.86
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=4900/1740.86
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1740.86 is what percent of 4900

100%/x%=4900/1740.86
(100/x)*x=(4900/1740.86)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8147007800742*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8147007800742) to get x
100/2.8147007800742=x
35.527755102041=x
x=35.527755102041

now we have:
1740.86 is 35.527755102041% of 4900
